Riverside cottage in a beautiful garden in Lincolnshire.

Our beautiful riverside cottage is just north of the hamlet of Langrick, eight miles from the old market town of Boston. It nestles in carefully tended gardens right next to the peaceful River Witham as it takes its journey from the magnificent city of Lincoln down to Boston. Lovingly prepared for just two guests to share, Witham Cottage is the self-contained annex to a classic Georgian farmhouse occupied by the owners of the cottage.

For supplies, the nearest large supermarket is Tesco in Boston. Grocery deliveries can be arranged with ASDA, Iceland, Morrison's, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Tesco or Waitrose.

You're assured the warmest of welcomes from Kathy and Alan who are on hand to give you advice on the local area. The interior of the self-catering cottage reflects the country style of living and is beautifully equipped for your stay. Pastel décor, solid oak furniture and wooden floors immediately create a welcoming atmosphere. The fitted kitchen is complete with a dishwasher and all the pots and pans, cutlery and crockery needed to create anything from a quick breakfast to a delicious dinner after a day exploring our beautiful county.

The sitting room has a comfortable leather sofa and an armchair to sink into, an electric log burner for a wonderful evening glow and a large flat-screen television. Complimentary unlimited fast WiFi is provided.

The beautifully appointed double bedroom has dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens and is complete with solid wooden furniture, luxurious bedding and a chandelier. Off the bedroom is the sparkling shower room, the perfect place to start and end each day.

Surrounding Witham Cottage is two acres of gardens which guests are welcome to make their own. Enjoy a walk, explore the plant specimens and sit peacefully with a good book. Up on the riverbank it's so quiet with perhaps the occasional cabin cruiser bobbing along now and then. The riverbank is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee first thing in the morning or perhaps a glass of wine in the evening, watching the glorious sunsets turn into a fabulous display of stars in the clear night sky.

Away from Witham Cottage, there’s a wealth of things to see and do. Just eight miles away is the famous Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, at RAF Coningsby, where one of only two remaining airworthy Avro Lancaster bombers is held alongside a Supermarine Spitfire, and a Hawker Hurricane. A little further afield, explore the charming antiques shops in the quiet market town of Horncastle. Woodhall Spa is also nearby, a charming village set in woodland with delightful independent shops, walks, hotels for afternoon tea and a cinema nestled in the woods which steps back in time to the Golden Age of the silver screen. Birdwatchers are amply served by the excellent facilities at RSPB Freiston Shore and RSPB Gibraltar Point whereas National Trust members can enjoy exploring nearby Tattershall Castle, Belton House and Gunby Hall. Further afield is Sandringham, the late Queen’s winter retreat which is set in thousands of acres of woodland open all year round. Access to the house is available when the family is not in residence.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of Bubblecar Museum. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace
  • Free WiFi
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Bubblecar Museum and 8 minutes from Witham Way Country Park

Relaxing Stay
The accommodation and location are 5-star. The hosts, Kathy and Alan, are unique and very helpful. We have stayed at this location several times in recent years and cannot fault anything. It's very much a home-from-home when we travel there—highly recommended.

Best we have ever found
Witham Cottage is a lovely small cottage with small windows and a super stable door. It is immaculate and very comfy. It is surrounded by the most well kept country gardens I have ever seen. There are several sitting out areas with tables and chairs complete with large bronze deer and all illuminated at night. Kathy and Alan the owners are lovely. This is the best cottage and garden we have ever stayed in. Thank you

Very quiet and restful location
Lovely small property for 2 people. An oasis in the midst of the Lincolnshire countryside which, it has to be said, is quite featureless. (To be fair, we went late October. On a summer's day it would be much nicer.) Could well revisit to see more of the area. Plenty of places of interest within a half-hour's drive.

Lovely relaxing break
Perfect place to relax, location was beautiful. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Kathy and Al were really friendly and welcoming, they gave me some of their apples and I made the best apple crumbles I've ever had. Ernie the dog was a bonus, loved every minute and look forward to going back again.

Paradise!
This was such a great find. Beautiful location, very kind & considerate hosts and such an amazing cottage. We can’t recommend it highly enough. We had planned to do quite a lot on the days of our stay but now wish we hadn’t and just stayed at the cottage relaxing in their beautiful grounds & sit by the river. Pure Bliss!

Country escape
The location was perfect for us. The hosts were so friendly and made us feel at ease straight away. We had everything we needed in the cottage. The garden and the grounds were lovely, well laid out and kept immaculate. We felt secure as the property was well away from the main roads. The view of the river was reached by a few short steps up the riverbank. At the riverside was a table and chairs and a two seater covered swing seat. So beautiful and relaxing, ideal for picnicking and drinks or just taking in the view.

Second visit and every bit as good as the first!
This is the second time we have stayed at Witham Cottage and we simply couldn't wait to return! Everything about it is beautiful, the cottage and the gardens, it is pristene! There is everything you could possibly want in the cottage and it is absolutely spotless! It is such a relaxing and tranquil place to stay, it is so lovely to step out into wonderful gardens with ample places to sit and enjoy the sights, scents and sounds. There is a swing chair by the river for ultimate relaxation. The hosts are brilliant, lovely people. We were so sad to leave and we miss our chats with Al whilst watching Ernie the little dog run around enjoying himself. Can't wait to return again! Thanks Kath, Al and little Ernie xx

Lovely, quiet little haven, away from it all
Lovely clean, charming little cottage by the river. Beautiful gardens. Fully fitted with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Slept well in the comfortable bed. Perfect if you like to be away and have rest and relaxation. Alan was a friendly host and we loved little Ernie the dog who came to say hello every day. Great location for Frampton Marsh and Gibraltar point for walking and bird watching, but not so good if you want to walk to a pub. We loved sitting by the river with a glass or two of wine and the only thing we could hear was the birds!

Great Staycation
We had a great time staying at Witham Cottage and must thank Alan, Kathy and of course Ernie for being such great hosts. We chose Lincolnshire for our Staycation in these unusual times as it was a county we hadn't visited before. Witham Cottage has a great location in beautiful grounds and the river is a bonus. A lovely quiet place to sit and watch the world go by with a glass of something chilled! You may spot a buzzard, or indeed the planes flying from RAF Coningsby. The cottage itself is very comfortable and had everything we needed, and having Alan and Kathy on site meant we could ask them anything at pretty much anytime. We found plenty to keep us occupied. National Trust properties, nature reserves, the beach, and Lincoln itself, all worth a visit. We would wholeheartedly recommend Witham Cottage, and it even has super fast broadband now!! Thanks also Alan for the bee lights which will be finding a space in our own garden this weekend!

Sheer perfection!
What a perfect place! We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every moment! The cottage is spotless and the decor is beautiful. As for the gardens, well they are out of this world. So much to see and always something new to spot as you wander around in the fresh air. It is so relaxing to sit by the river and we spent the evening when it was dry just enjoying nature at its best. The hosts, Al and Kath are such a lovely couple, warm and welcoming yet never intrusive, it was a pleasure to meet them and they gave us good recommendations for places to eat and things to do and see nearby. I also have to mention Ernie the Jack Russell, what a friendly little character full of joy! If you want a peaceful retreat away from it all with perfect hosts then this is the place to go and we will certainly return! We visited Boston, The tea house in the woods, The war museum,, Skegness, Snettisham, Hunstanton and Lincoln as well as various other places (all by car. ) A wonderful part of the world.
